The best way to stop #PFAS is at the source. Get it out of all the consumer products that have PFAS at exponentially higher levels than drinking water and which account for 80-90% of human exposure. Props to Patagonia for taking responsibility. But others will need to be forced.

Big thanks and shout out to Laurel Schaider for her continued work on #PFAS . Give it a watch - it's good and quite educational (if not a bit unsettling).

Our new work led by Kate Crawford paired an analysis of #PFAS concentrations in seafood with a statewide survey of eating habits in New Hampshire and suggests that frequent seafood consumption may increase risk of exposure to #foreverchemicals .

Lots of #PFAS studies and information

PFOA and PFOS - levels tested showed significant negative correlations with total body less head bone mineral density. PFHxS was correlated with osteoporosis. #PFAS

A qualitative study to assess the presence of #PFAS in various cosmetics such as hygiene products, skin care products, make-up and perfumes. Among the 765 products studied, we found 11 different PFAS.

Today's EPA announcement of new drinking water standards will, no doubt, be welcomed by environmental health experts—but the chemical class known as PFAS lingers in more than just our water. harvardpublichealth.org/policy-practic…

PFAS are chemicals found in our water, soil, air, and food.

They're dangerous, and my Administration is addressing them.

The U.S. EPA is issuing the first-ever national standard to address PFAS and delivering $1 billion from my agenda to help states detect and treat this pollutant.

Rob Hayes, the group’s director of clean water, applauded the announcement saying he was “thrilled” by Biden’s “historic action to protect New Yorkers from the hazards of PFAS exposure,” and urged state leaders to implement the regulations “immediately.”

NYS Legislature & Governor can take other important steps by fully committing funding to the Clean Water Infrastructure Act .. passing the #PFAS Discharge Act to better locate & address discharges of PFAS & pass a wide variety of bans on PFAS in consumer products <WHAT HE SAID!

A historic day for clean water: U.S. EPA finalizes first-ever federal limits on toxic #PFAS in drinking water.
